that election didn't work. there was unrest in the streets and the turmoil completely consumed the rest of that year. and so, basically i think this is as good as any time to start negotiations. so what is stopping us from doing this? of course there's a synergy of inaction on both sides and invested political interest to generate a kind of in group solidarity from the image of a demonized other, on the other side. but there is only one way to break this logjam, and that is, i think the two sides should, this block of marble and see the statue inside the block, apply to think to apply pressure, force, but also perspective to breakout a new compromise out of this situation. and there are risks and there are rewards to this. any politician who openly says i'm going to make peace with the other side and resolve this issue would be -- out of hand if they don't succeed. but there are also great rewards because we also know the politician, to cut his 10 year old, will have a place in history. so what is keeping the s

when i was first elected in a special election in 1993, we had to, actually for, full plane loads of people fly up for my swearing in because it was a special election. we filled the entire gallery. and those rowdy texans were so happy to watch my little swearing in ceremony, and it was a great day for me as well as my wonderful and loyal friends and supporters. i started having weekly constituent coffee that first year because there were so many visitors from texas, and i wanted to make sure that at least there was one time every week that any texan who was here that wanted to see me could come and visit and was welcomed. so every thursday morning around nine or 9:30, the person in charge of this first effort was the wife of a three-star general, who volunteered her time in our offices. and i think it was as much her handling of the event as the idea itself that led many other senators to take up his practice and get a chance to always visit with their constituents, at least once a week, if they were otherwise going to committee meetings or having to do their work and not able to se
